ANGER WITHIN, based in Morgantown, West Virginia, fuses punk, modern metal, and militant, death-like vocals to create an innovative, experimental form of heavy music, guaranteed to excite open-minded audiences everywhere.
Ignited both by a passion for heavy rhythm, sound, and an anger at injustice, ANGER WITHIN introduced itself onto the scene in June, 1991, and was founded by current members Wulf Morris (Vocals/Guitar,) and Austin Comstock (Guitar,) Establishing various rhythm sections throughout the next couple of years, the band headed to Frozen Sound Studios and recorded three demo tapes, produced by Kim Monday, that prophesied dynamic, electrifying innovations to come.
ANGER WITHIN broke into the 'underground' tape trading scene with these demos. Each new tape emphasized a heavier sound and aggressively focused on themes few death metal bands dare to touch - world oppression, gang violence, environmental distress, loss of friendship - along with brutally outspoken lyrics challenging man's inhumanity to man. Over the years, many people have described their sound as thought provoking, heavy, straight to the point, original metal/hardcore music, with political and socially concerned lyrics.
The live experience of ANGER WITHIN, has been compared to the energy of a BIOHAZARD, NAPALM DEATH, and SEPULTURA show. The band has played at just about every venue that can be played in their tri-state area. The cities include, Pittsburgh PA, Uniontown PA, Charlottesville VA, Washington D.C., Martins Ferry OH, Fairmont WV, Grafton WV, Bridgeport WV, Clarksburg WV, Parkersburg WV, Huntington WV, Wheeling WV, and of course their hometown of Morgantown WV.
With the three cassette demos and one full length CD, (produced by Josh Swiger and recorded at Blues Alley Studios,) under their belts, the band has received mail, and support from all over the world such as, Russia, England, Japan, France, Mexico, and of course the United States. The band has played or been featured on WCLG, U92, and has even been on the airwaves in France! With over 10,000 hits to their official website, 8000 hits to their "secondary" site, and about 100 song downloads a month on mp3.com, the band is doing quite well on getting their music out there. Not bad for a bunch of metalhead/punk veterans from the hills of West Virginia! With drummer Devon Harouff, the band is finally secure, and a strong functioning unit again!
ANGER WITHIN continues to thrive, attracting an enthusiastic, ever-increasing following. The band's 2nd album, "State Of The Union", (produced by Josh Swiger and recorded at Blues Alley Studios,) is currently in the works! It threatens to have issues that will shake up the mind, and a more experimental sound that will please all fans of original music! Hot on the footsteps of already signed acts such as KARMA TO BURN and CHUM - ANGER WITHIN is proving to be the next big thing, and the hottest unsigned band to come out of West Virginia.
